Owing to the hectic life, people hardly get any time to take care of themselves. Moreover, visiting a salon or doing hair colouring or dyeing at home seems to be an impossible task for many. Dealing with white hair strands in the 20 and 30 years of age can be quite a scary task to handle. Although many people accept it with grace and glamour, for some, the salon is the only place of rescue. Busy schedules can often hamper salon appointments, and what can truly help are natural ways to cover grey hair at home.
It is true that with age, grey hair becomes more common, just like the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and changes in skin elasticity. Apart from age, there are certain other reasons why white hair appears, including genetics, obesity, smoking, stress and others. To cover grey hair, dyeing seems to be the easiest option. However, sometimes, dyeing hair can cause scalp irritation or itching, redness, hair breakage and thinning, skin rashes and respiratory issues. Due to time constraints and side effects of dyeing, you can opt for natural ways to hide your grey hair.
Natural Tips To Hide Grey Hair
DIY Staples From Kitchen
This is the most natural way to cover grey hair. Strong black tea or coffee can give the white hair a temporary darker grey colour. Simply rinse the cooled liquid over the hair and leave it for 30 minutes. Similarly, applying henna with amla powder to grey hair gives semi-permanent coverage and, at the same time, nourishes the hair strands.
Hairstyles
Grey hair becomes more visible when it appears around the parting and temple. Opt for hairstyles like messy buns, braids, or deep side parts as they will draw attention from grey hairs and extend volume to the hair. Grey hair can also be covered with headbands, scarves, or hair clips, adding a stylish touch ot it.
Root Touch-Up Powders Or Sprays
Applying natural root touch-up powders or sprays can provide you with the quickest remedy to cover grey hair. Many brands now offer non-toxic, plant-based options that are made with natural pigments like henna or indigo. These products blend nicely with the hair colour and wash out easily, making a perfect temporary fix.

Blend With Highlights
Never hesitate to embrace your grey hair by blending them with a lighter tone. Squeeze lemon juice on the grey hair and allow them to dry in the sun for an added natural-looking highlight. This method takes away some of the starkness of greys and gives your hair a sun-kissed glow as well.
Condition And Shine
As healthy hair reflects light better, the greys get less noticeable. Apply a hair product that naturally enhances the shine, such as argan oil or aloe vera gel and smooth th stands, thus providing more lustre. This trick works excellently to reduce the contrast between greys and darker hair.
